add major features from webpack-dev-server

[pkit]

• compress
• proxy
• before
• after
• historyApiFallback (object format)
• serveIndex
• headers

The end goal is to make sure it can run react-scripts config (almost) unmodified

This looks promising, but I don't have the time to review this completely so I hope somebody else can review.

I released the PR as [email protected]

A happy user of [email protected] here. I'm especially happy about the directory indexes, because I have several development pages in my project and I like to navigate to them in the browser. My configuration:

  serve({
    open: false,
    port: 8080,
+   contentBase: __dirname, // I have rollup config in the project root
+   serveIndex: true,
  })

If I don't add the contentBase, it'll fail:

[!] TypeError: root path required

The default contentBase: '' worked earlier to serve the content of the current directory. You might want to send process.cwd() to the serve-static, so that it wouldn't fail with the default configuration right away.

This feature was included in 2.0.0-beta.0, but it didn't make it to 2.0.0. Are there any plans to include it in an upcoming version? Thank you!

[prantlf]

2.0.2 was released without this feature. Are you going to accept ii? Or do you want to close this PR and wait for a different one?
